The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of measurements of hip muscle torque obtained with the Cybex II isokinetic dynamometer from healthy young boys. Twenty-nine healthy boys, aged 6 to 10 years, were tested two times at one- to two-week intervals. Torque of the hip flexors and extensors and the hip abductors and adductors was assessed at angular velocities of 30 degrees and 90 degrees/sec. The torque generated by each muscle group at 30 degrees/sec was similar to the torque generated at 90 degrees/sec. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to determine test-retest reliability for measurements of each of the muscle groups at both angular velocities. The ICCs were higher for hip flexion and extension than they were for hip abduction and adduction. The highest ICC (ICC = .84) was found for hip extension at 90 degrees/sec. The ICCs for hip abduction and adduction at both angular velocities were less than .60. Factors that possibly contributed to the relatively low reliability in hip abduction and adduction are discussed.
